Chapter 548: The Army's Lost Property (2 in 1 chapter)

Sophia watched Luke go from being surprised at first to gradually calming down.

Luke is still the big boy he used to be. He sometimes plays pranks but he is not annoying.

Looking at Luke, Sofia recalled the time she spent with Luke in high school.

Luke looked at her dazed eyes, walked closer to her, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

Sophia stepped back and dodged.

Luke takes another step forward, Sofia takes another step back...

Then, she was pushed against the wall by Luke...

Luke's large hands were warm against her face.

The two just stared at each other, but in fact they both understood that the past was just the past.

But after all, Sophia still has a place in Luke's heart, he just doesn't want to accept it.

Sighing, Luke said to her:

"I won't force you, but what I want to say is that SHIELD is not a good place, and Nick Fury is not a good person."

After saying that, looking at Sophia who was unmoved, Luke still kissed her.

It was just a brief visit, and Luke turned and left.

When he reached the door of the building, he turned around and looked at Sophia who was standing there in a daze.

That look was full of disappointment and loneliness.

Just a glance, as if to remember Sophia's appearance firmly in his mind.

Then Luke strode off.

Sophia bit her lip and just looked at Luke's back.

In the end, she still didn't speak.

The next day, Luke went to Washington.

This trip will last for three days.

As soon as I returned to Los Angeles, Stark called.

"Luke, you're not in Los Angeles?"

"Oh, I'm out. I just got back to Los Angeles. I'm not home yet."

"JARVIS showed me some information from SHIELD, and I want to get back what my father left there."

"Those are things your father left behind, so they should be returned."

"Well, I think it would be better if the mecha for James is a bit lighter."

"You just decide."

"Luke... that..."

"Tony, just say whatever you want to say. No need to ramble on. This job is not suitable for you."

"Well, Pepper and I both want to know about you and Miss White..."

"Nothing. She and I were classmates in high school. We dated for two years, but she left without saying goodbye in her last year of high school."

"what about now?"

"She's from S.H.I.E.L.D. You and Pepper should be careful. They are still determined to get you."

"Uh, I'm asking about you and her..."

"It's nothing. Everything is over. We have to look forward, right?"

"Okay, Pepper said I can go out and have a drink with you."

"Tony, thank Pepper for me. I'm an adult, not an emotionally fragile little boy."

Stark listened to the hang-up sound on the phone and glanced at Pepper next to him.

"See, I told him he didn't need comfort."

"I was worried that you would get bored at home, so I went out to have a drink with him to relax."

"I just want to spend more time with you and little Morgan at home... Well... If you put down the wrench in your hand, I will believe you..."

Stark's strong desire to survive... gradually deviated from the topic...

After Luke hung up the phone, he began his busy work.

A week later, a professional scientific expedition team arrived at the North Pole.

When they arrived at their destination, Luke was already waiting there.

The purpose of the trip was to recover lost property of the U.S. Army.

And the U.S. Army and the FBI have reached a secret agreement.

Steve Rogers' file is still in the Army, but the procedures for secondment to the FBI's Special Affairs Division have been signed.

It was signed personally by General Samuel Troutman, a four-star general of the Army and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

When Luke went to Washington, he didn't just look for one general, but several generals.

He visited almost all of the Qin family’s connections in the military.

PY transactions are a must, but as for personal connections, according to Chinese tradition, it is better to move around more often and give more gifts.

Luke held his breath.

Damn SHIELD, if you dare to steal my first love, I will steal your Avengers.

Using Captain Jack's compass, Luke finds Captain Steve Rogers sleeping in the Arctic ice.

The scientific expedition team members are all elites from Qin's affiliated companies, so confidentiality is naturally no problem.

After the scientific expedition team arrived, Luke's work here was temporarily over.

He came here to determine Steve's location in advance so that the scientific expedition team could bring equipment and carry out excavation work.

Next, destination India.

In a mobile tin house in an Indian slum.

A tall, thin white doctor had just finished examining a child when he saw a man who looked out of place walk in.

Luke is still dressed in that retro suit.

The doctor was stunned for a moment when he saw Luke, then asked Luke while pretending to be calm.

"Hello, are you here..."

Luke knew that beneath the doctor's seemingly calm exterior, his heart was beating faster.

"Relax, Dr. Banner, I'm not here to arrest you."

After saying that, he took out his ID and showed it to Dr. Banner.

But this still did not dispel Dr. Banner's nervousness.

Luke came and sat down opposite Dr. Banner.

"This is the pardon signed by the Attorney General, and this is your letter of appointment to join the FBI's Special Branch."

Banner took the document from Luke and read it carefully.

Luke continued:

"Elizabeth (Betty Ross's full name is Elizabeth Betty Ross) has been very depressed since you left."

"Isa (short for Elizabeth) told me about you."

Luke became interested.

"Oh? What did she say about me?"

"She was talking about your childhood. She said that you always acted like a little adult when you were little. General Ross liked you very much and wanted to marry Isa to you."

"Haha, General Ross has always had this idea, but to me Elizabeth is just a sister. When she was little, she was very naughty, lively, and curious."

The two of them started chatting about family matters.

Banner asked Luke finally.

"How did you convince General Ross?"

Luke smiled.

"I know him too well. His seemingly fanatical patriotism is actually nothing more than a yearning for power, and my family can help him achieve his goal."

Banner fell silent after hearing Luke's explanation.

Luke comforted him.

"Doctor, you are a scholar, not a politician. Don't worry about that."

Banner looked at Luke and asked:

"Now that my wanted warrant has been lifted, can I not go back?"

Luke shook his head.

"You will be safer only with me. Your power will be coveted by many people and forces."

Dr. Banner was silent for a while.

"I can't control him yet... I'm afraid he'll come out and hurt Isa again."

Looking at Banner who seemed a little self-blaming, Luke smiled.

"So, here I am."

After saying that, Luke reached out his hand and pressed it on Dr. Banner's arm as he looked shocked.

The soft white light illuminated the dim tin house.

After the white light, Dr. Banner felt a peace he had never felt before.

He opened his eyes and looked at Luke.

"you……"

"You are not the only one with super powers in this world. You only see a small part of the world."

"Can you heal me?"

Banner looked at Luke excitedly.

Luke shook his head.

"Your condition is not a disease. Hulk is actually another soul born from your second personality. You are now in the form of two souls in one."

This explanation really made Banner a little confused.

If you talk about science, I can still talk to you, but you talk to me about mysticism...

As soon as Luke saw Banner's expression, he knew what he was thinking.

Smiling, he patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I have acquaintances in the Vatican, and they know what to do in this situation."

Dr. Banner looked at Luke with an expression that said: Are you kidding me?

Luke didn't bother to explain it to him.

A scientist, want him to give up science and believe in theology?

It's no use saying it; he will only believe it after he practices it himself.

"Clean up and let's go."

Banner didn't hesitate at all. He packed some documents and experimental data into a small bag and followed Luke out.

Three days later, Luke arrived in a place called Goa in India.

It was once a Portuguese colony and is also the richest state in India.

The architectural style here has long been influenced by the Portuguese and is more European in style.

Dr. Banner and Luke, who have regained their vitality, arrive here.

“Are we leaving India from here?”

"No, I'm here to visit an old friend."

David Webber or Jason Bourne had just returned from his morning run.

On the way back home, he keenly felt the presence of his fellow travelers.

So he hurried back home and started running with his girlfriend Mary.

Mary didn't believe it at first, but Bourne's sensitivity to his peers was beyond her imagination.

Each side discovered the other's intentions.

In the end, Bourne and Mary switched positions. Mary drove while Bourne took out the pistol from the passenger glove box.

Mary also asked Bourne to stop using violence.

Because of Bourne's past, he has been suffering from nightmares in recent years.

Mary actually hopes that Bourne can get rid of the influence of the past.

The intention is good, but this idea is too naive.

Seeing that he could not catch up, the killer found a place to stop the car and took out the sniper rifle from the trunk.

After the gunshot, Mary was shot and the car broke through the guardrail of the bridge and fell into the river.

Dr. Banner looked at Luke who had taken off his coat and asked:

"Your friends are all so... so... I can't describe it."

"It's okay, he's a former CIA agent who lives in seclusion here, but it's clear that he's in trouble."

"Do you want Hulk to come out and help?"

"Need not."

After that, Luke handed Dr. Banner a metal badge.

Then he took out a palm-sized sheepskin bag, opened it, grabbed a handful of silver-gray stuff from it and sprinkled it towards the car.

"what is this?"

Dr. Banner asked Luke curiously.

"Wait until I come back. Just stand here and don't move."

After saying that, Luke jumped into the river.

Bourne wanted to rescue the unconscious Mary underwater, but due to the underwater environment, he was not a god and was ultimately powerless.

Just after Bourne leaves, Luke arrives at the spot where they fell, grabs Mary and swims back.

After carrying her ashore, I came to the car.

"Open the trunk."

Just as Dr. Banner was about to leave, the trunk opened by itself.

Although the vehicle is an old-school jeep, it’s a new skin for Roadblock.

Luke put Mary in the trunk and immediately gave her a life-saving injection.

"Fortunately, the shot didn't hit the vital part. We can still save it."

Dr. Banner also came to the back and looked at the wound.

"There are no conditions for surgery here..."

Then he saw Luke take out the medical kit and start operating on Mary.

The bullet passed through the vehicle and the seat and struck Mary just below the right shoulder.

The good news is that the bullet is weakened after passing through multiple layers of obstruction.

The bad news was that the window left by the bullet's deformation was a bit large, and Mary bled a lot.

Banner stared blankly at Luke performing surgery on Mary and removing the deformed bullet.

"Fortunately it wasn't armor-piercing bullet."

Banner just watched Luke take action and remained silent.

Since meeting Luke, his three perspectives have changed.

Luke could have easily calmed him down.

No matter what situation you encounter, your heart rate will return to normal.

After operating on Mary, I cleaned the trunk.

"Bruce, get in the car, let's go."

Dr. Banner sat in the co-pilot seat and Luke also came to the driver's seat.

He started the car and left the scene.

On the way to Bourne's residence, Luke found Bourne hiding in the crowd.

Just as Bourne carefully hid himself and observed his surroundings, Luke stopped directly in front of him.

"Jason, get in the car."

Seeing Luke, Bourne became alert.

Looking at his expression, Luke knew that he was in a state of paranoia.

"Mary is in the trunk. She's not dead yet."

Bourne was shocked when he heard Luke's words. He didn't care what Luke's purpose was. He opened the back door and saw Mary lying in the trunk.

Obviously, Mary's injuries have been treated, but she is not awake yet.

Bourne no longer hesitated, closed the car door and patted the driver's seat.

"Thank you, Commander Dutton."

"Don't thank me yet. We need to find a safe place. Let's not go to your house. There's nothing valuable here anyway."

Then, Luke took them to a five-star hotel here and booked a presidential suite.

"Be careful, Mary's wound is on her back."

"I will."

Bourne carried Mary to the presidential suite.

After arriving in the room and settling Mary down, Luke introduced Banner and Bourne.

Banner then asked Luke.

"Wouldn't the environment and her wound at that time be infected if there was no sterile environment?"

Luke smiled.

"Don't worry, this is not a scientific method."

Banner nodded calmly.

Damn the occult...

My curiosity is piqued. What should I do? Should I mention to him that I have seven doctoral degrees?

After introducing both parties, Luke said to Bourne:

"I came to India to look for Dr. Banner, and I saw you were just passing through, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Bourne took the beer from Luke, took a big sip and said:

"I didn't expect it. I've been here for two years and everything has been peaceful. But after I came back from morning exercise today, I realized something was wrong."

Luke smiled after hearing Bourne's description.

"Remember what I said? (Please see Chapter 505 for details) They will not give up on you."

"Mary, it's because you still have illusions about the CIA. Those politicians have many characteristics, but the only thing they don't have is kindness and mercy."

Banner Assassin also nodded.

Luke pulled out his phone.

"Lilith, check what's going on with the CIA recently."

"Okay, boss."
